Article is merely an essay. Subject to vandalism, and although there have been references (a reference) in past versions, they have been poorly cited at best. Information is sparse enough that it could be easily merged into Industrial revolution. 78.26 (talk) 04:21, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete poorly written essay, fails WP:PUTEFFORT given the "to be continued". Ten Pound Hammer • (What did I screw up now?) 05:31, 15 February 2012 (UTC)

 * Delete Cleary has not been improved since last nomination which was 4 years ago.  Jay Jay Talk to me 22:47, 15 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete. Valid article topic, because it's been covered by lots of publications in social history, but this text is never going to be it.  Better to trash it and start all over again.  Nyttend (talk) 01:17, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Delete Unsourced, poorly written WP:Essay. Nwlaw63 (talk) 20:40, 16 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Merge into Industrial_revolution which has gotten further in covering this topic. Warden (talk) 23:18, 16 February 2012 (UTC)


 * Delete - Social history of the industrial revolution would be a legitimate encyclopedic topic, which is what this would be, if it were more than an unsourced, unwikified paragraph. It's not often that a hand grenade should be used to clear the field for the "real article" of the indeterminate future, but this is one such case. Carrite (talk) 02:21, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
 * Strong Delete -- This reads like something that a 12-year old might write in a school exercise book after first being introduced to the subject. It is so dreadful as to be completely beyond hope of rescue.  WP has ample coverage of Industrial Revolution, with ample sub-articles.  I do not even think it qualifies as an essay. I cannot believe there is even any content worthy of being merged.  Peterkingiron (talk) 23:47, 18 February 2012 (UTC)
